Small-Batch Hot Sauce Drop

The brief: a craft hot-sauce maker needed a launch email with as much heat as the product. We built a fiery dark layout with an Anton condensed display face, a chili-red and ember-orange palette, and a close-up pepper hero, so the drop feels like an event the moment it opens.

The standout block is a five-segment heat-scale graphic built entirely from colored table cells, marking the new sauce at the Reaper end with a Scoville note. Paired with a three-stat scarcity row (bottles made, price, hours until sold out), it manufactures genuine urgency that drives the 'Claim Your Bottle' tap.

No image files were needed for the heat meter, keeping the email light and dark-mode safe, with all color in inline table styling. The batch number, bottle count, price, and countdown are merge fields, so every future drop reuses the template with a fresh scarcity story.
